Reflection

she puts it there for me
and i could copy this
and be someone else
just like she desires

but then i wouldn’t be me
i wouldn’t be that person
who put in that application
and told her husband
at age thirty-four
we’re moving to Spain

i would be just like
just like
all the other souls
who fit into conformity
who settle into the home
that’s so familiar

i would be you
i would be your mirror
and how happy would you be
looking back
at the reflection?
